The Center for Reproducible Biomedical Modeling would like to invite you to a talk by Auckland Bioengineering Institute's Dr. Peter Hunter entitled, "12 Labours: Extending the Physiome Project to the clinic and to home-based healthcare”. Distinguished Professor Peter Hunter of the Auckland Bioengineering Institute was recognized at the University of Auckland's Research Awards, winning a Vice-Chancellor's [...]
The Next Web (TNW) just published an interesting story addressing the problem of centralizing ongoing attempts of reproducibility. Could centralization save tremendous amounts of time and energy? “'Unreproducible work wastes the time and effort of well-meaning researchers, and authors should strive to ensure at least one public implementation of their work exists,' ContributionSecure14, who preferred [...]
We've all ecountered this funny, but depressing experience in science and research. This video tells an all-too-familiar story. https://youtu.be/N2zK3sAtr-4
NPR has published How Herd Immunity Works — And What Stands In Its Way, an online model of viral spread. The rapidity of heard immunity variants, based on a number of factors. In this article, NPR demonstrates major factors in scenarios using multi-scale modeling.
The New York Times adapted PHICOR (Public Health Informatics, Computational, and Operation Research)'s multi-scale computer model to create an interactive tool in an article just published over the weekend: When Could the United States Reach Herd Immunity? It’s Complicated. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/02/20/us/us-herd-immunity-covid.html
Save the date for HARMONY 2021 Date: March 22nd to March 26th Place: online http://co.mbine.org/events/HARMONY_2021 HARMONY 2021 will be an online-only meeting similar to COMBINE 2020 (http://co.mbine.org/events/COMBINE_2020). Most of the day will be scheduled by the communities as breakouts. In addition, there will be some time each day for community discussion and wrap-ups of breakouts [...]
As the result of a mandate from Congress, the National Academies will explore the issues of reproducibility and replication in scientific and engineering research. The committee will explore what is known and identify areas that may need more information to ascertain the extent of reproducibility and replication, review current activities to improve reproducibility and replication [...]
Lorena A. Barba's article Terminologies for Reproducible Research discusses how reproducible research---by its many names---has come to be regarded as a key concern across disciplines and stakeholder groups. Funding agencies and journals, professional societies and even mass media are paying attention, often focusing on the "crisis" of reproducibility. https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.03311
Follow the replication crisis (aka replicability crisis and reproducibility crisis) with ongoing updates about how it impacts many facets of life, economics, politics, and public awareness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis
The Nature article, "1,500 scientists lift the lid on reproducibility" by Monya Baker, sheds light on the ‘crisis’ rocking research. https://www.nature.com/news/1-500-scientists-lift-the-lid-on-reproducibility-1.19970
